glittery green

Confession.  I still wear my retainer. 

*hangs head in embarrassment

I got it in 8th grade.  That was in 1997.  Wow, 12 years ago.......wow.

Not every night, but maybe once a month or something.  I put it in and see how bad it hurts.  And if I wake up with sore teeth, then I wear it again that night. 

Matt talks with a lisp to me when I have it in....and makes fun of me.

But who still has straight teeth?

That's right.  ME.

a new angle

Oh how I love love love that bottom lip and those cheeks!

a different kind of Valentine's dinner

Matt and I decided to cook a fancy dinner together this year for Valentine's day.  I tend to think that this day is more hype than anything....but any chance for us to spend an evening doing something together is great!  We picked out this delicious lamb recipe and tried to make the dinner something a little special.  I mean, not to toot my own horn or anything....but it was awesome.  This was my first time to even buy lamb, and we polished our plates pretty quickly.

Matt even brought my some daisies (my absolute favorite!)  I love my Matt and don't really need a special day to show it, but it is fun to do something different!

story time

a little snuggle

If you've ever held Graham, aka my little lego man, then you know what's going on above is sooooo out of the ordinary!

full body western

We laugh about how Matt loves the western style shirts with the plaid and pearl snap buttons.  Actually, so does Bryan.  They see one in a store and are attracted to it like flies to the light.  So when I saw this one in Graham's size, I couldn't resist!

going green

So, fun surprise I had recently. 

I absolutely love peanut M&Ms.  They're the best, hand's down.  Well anyway, I have this theory that the holiday M&Ms are fresher than the regular ones because they have to make them specifically for the holiday coming up.  If you think I'm wrong and/or crazy....don't tell me.  I think they taste better.

I also have this *thing* where I have to eat the M&Ms equally by color.  I can't just grab a handful and eat them without checking the color ratio that I have and making it all even and so on.  I could explain this whole process but it would take too long and make me look crazy!  I do this subconsciously. 

So as I opened the bag in the car (a valentine themed bag obviously), I was pleasantly surprised to find that the whole bag was full of green M&Ms!  First of all, that's my favorite color.  Second of all, it's sort of sweet that they have an entire bag dedicated to the "romantic M&M character" from the commercials.  And third....I didn't have to check the color as I put them in my mouth.  I could just leisurely eat them without thinking about it! 

This may not have been a good thing though.  I ate the whole bag.  That's right...the whole bag.  Go ahead....judge me.
